me and my big mouth, didn't sound to bad a bit of a run out to that kiev, I have watched the london to brighton run on telly and that looked pretty straight foward, but when the nurse was driving a syringe into my arm, and advising me to watch out for the dodgy coporation pop, (water ) to my middle class bloggers,I thought oh! oh! anyway my Y fronts and socks are packed and the big off tomorrow dinner time, sorry again for the middle class bloggers among you, lunch time, as per usual weather sounds dodgy, got a good mac with me, so weather not to much of a worry.

9 years in the royal navy counts for nothing when I hit the ferry, sea sickness is enevitable, plan b is to continue with my vodka training sessions and retire to my bunk for leg 1 to berlin a mere 450 miles away, will have to have my sensible head on for that first leg, sat at the computor on my newly transplanted bisons arse it sounds easy, the problem with the transplant is I have found  is my longing to eat bales of straw but am again sure it will be worth it.

Anyway bloggers, am taking my heartbroken wife out tonight for a feed, don't know how she will cope with me gone for two weeks, keep telling her all in a good cause, keep getting phone calls from sounds like ghana or mombasa saying has he gone yet, must ring BT up and tell them there is something wrong with the line.

will try and keep up this blog, let you all know of our progress for this fantastic cause, thanks for all the good luck phone calls,and as we say in the Ukraine.
